Odd that Masai wouldn’t give him 2/19. I thought he could easily get 2/28 like KCP money.

Boucher about to blow up. That guy is a beast defending the paint.

He would snap in half against most centers. He's a great backup in certain matchups only. We need to sign 2 centers asap.

Can't he play PF too defensively?

Ibaka needs a good PnR ball handler to maximize his talents, Clippers dont have that.

I think he's talking about Bruno Caboccio?

Holy Hell. These LA teams ain’t PLAYING

Ya PF is his spot. We need 2 centers on the roster since both will be half assed players.

I don't understand. He loved being here and he signed for way under what I think anyone expected him to sign for. We had the space to re-sign him and with Marc likely leaving we needed a big anyways.

Really disappointing...

A frontcourt of Ibaka/Morris will provide a lot of spacing for Kawhi and PG to work, Lou will be helped by this also.

Some truth here, but not the whole story. Kennard is actually a much better ball handler and passer than most are aware of, the problem is that if Ibaka is starting, him and Kennard won't be on the floor together that often. Lou Williams is not a true PG, and not a special playmaker, BUT, he did a great job connecting with Harrell in the pick and roll and making it deadly. He should be able to work with Ibaka also and make a useful pick and roll connection.

Obviously Kawhi and PG can also handle and create a bit too, but the overall spacing improvement is what will help everyone out.

Our combination of Ballmer's stalking, spy's in Toronto and Woj on the payroll once again a thorn in Toronto's side. Next up Kyle Lowry demands a trade to the Clips to reunite.

Jk man you guys will be just fine.

I think he misses playing with Kawai so he decides to sign with the Clippers

Who plays at the 4 for the Clippers? I forgot they have Zubac as well. Damn

Zubac needs 30 mpg this year period. So I'm hoping Ibaka gets about 15 at each position roughly. Some in big lineups next to Zubac, some in 5 out lineups.

Like Lowry? Clips should try and get Norman Powell, Siakam and OG via trade as well. Would be a great fit next to Kawhi and Ibaka and if they land Gasol.

Repeat 3-peat · Post #79 » by **Repeat 3-peat** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:02 am

Raptors are trying to retain Gasol but who steps in for depth at center? Has Boucher shown enough to be that guy?

I'm really confused why we couldn't bring him back. On top of that Tristan Thompson signs for the same contract earlier in the day so now we just have a gaping hole at PF/C. Masai has to have something up his sleeve.
